On the afternoon of December 7, 2025, Dominique Ahmad Goodman, 43, was shot and killed in the parking lot of a Bojangles on Roosevelt Highway in Palmetto, Georgia. Goodman had driven to the restaurant after his teenage daughter, Amari, who worked there, called him saying she was being bullied and harassed by her shift manager. He arrived around 1:15 p.m. intending to address the situation.

According to investigators, the manager had been told to leave earlier that day but remained in the parking lot armed with a gun. When Goodman approached the manager’s vehicle to speak with him, the manager exited and fired multiple shots, killing Goodman at the scene. Police took 34-year-old Maurice Nolan Evans into custody; he reportedly admitted to the shooting and was charged with murder, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.

Goodman is described as a devoted family man who worked multiple jobs to support five children and an expectant partner. Does anyone have information about the incident or knew Dominique and his family that could help clarify what happened?
